The development propelled NVTS to a fresh 52-week peak of $19.93.
Cyient Semiconductors introduced seven GaN power devices featuring 650V ratings, engineered for applications spanning AI data centers, e-mobility platforms, consumer rapid charging, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial power systems.
This represents Cyient Semiconductors’ inaugural commercial GaN product portfolio, establishing what both organizations characterize as a significant achievement for India’s native power semiconductor industry.
The partnership between the two entities was initially disclosed in December 2025. The agreement grants Cyient licensing rights to Navitas’s GaN technology for deployment within India while establishing Cyient as an alternative source for specific Navitas GaN devices already undergoing mass production.
Gallium nitride-based power semiconductors deliver superior switching speeds, reduced energy losses, and enhanced thermal management compared to conventional silicon-based devices.
The initial product range arrives in DPAK packages and incorporates drive, control, and protection capabilities together with EMI management and current sensing features. Cyient Semiconductors anticipates beginning product sampling by June 2026.
Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas Semiconductor, said: “India is a key market in Navitas’s high growth, high power strategy with Navitas 2.0. This launch furthers our vision of a robust local supply chain and manufacturing in India for the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiatives.”
Sustained Growth Trajectory
Monday’s surge reflects an established upward trend. NVTS has demonstrated exceptional performance, generating a 12-month return of 868%. Market capitalization currently stands at $4.49 billion.
The company disclosed Q1 2026 results exceeding revenue projections. Revenue reached $8.6 million compared to analyst estimates of $8.18 million, although the loss per share of $0.15 surpassed the anticipated $0.05.
Navitas provided guidance projecting a 16% sequential revenue increase for Q2 2026, underscoring its continued expansion into high-power market segments.
Wall Street Response
Needham adjusted its Q1 assessment by increasing its NVTS price target from $13.00 to $21.00 while reaffirming its Buy rating. The firm referenced the company’s recent results and forward guidance that exceeded market expectations.
InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock currently trades above its Fair Value estimate, a consideration relevant given the magnitude of the recent price appreciation.
The company continues operating at a loss, recording $0.62 per share in negative earnings over the trailing twelve months.
Cyient Semiconductors’ GaN product range addresses consumer USB-PD chargers, laptop and mobile adapters, AC-DC power supplies, AI data center and telecom power systems, and e-mobility charging platforms.
